1. Setting:  The “typical” fire station. Open on firefighter/narrator, in casual station uniform, putting away fire safety education materials, props, etc. Narrator walks into kitchen and sits at the table, looks at camera.
O/C: Wow!  We had a big group of preschoolers visiting the station today.  They were really great kids, and I think they learned a lot about fire safety.  
I’ve got a couple of kids myself.  And, I do worry about them.  

2. Narrator takes wallet out and pulls out a couple of small photos. Gestures to the kitchen
O/C: That’s because very young children have a higher risk of getting burned and not just by fire. The kitchen is an especially dangerous area.

3. (switch to home kitchen setting

4. Two parents and young child are in the kitchen; routine activity.
V/O: From the time my kids were little, I taught them to stay well away from the stove.  

5. Mom or Dad gets on the floor with a yard stick or tape measure.
V/O: Kids can suffer terrible burns by reaching up and touching a burner or pulling a hot pot down onto themselves.

6. Parents help child place stickers on the floor at the far ends to mark the zone. C/U on yard stick to show it the sticker is 3 feet from stove
V/O: A smart way to prevent that kind of tragedy is to measure a kid-free-zone all around the stove and cook top.  We let our kids mark the borders with bright tape until they learned the distance by heart.  
Make the zone at least three feet so the cook has plenty of space, and the kids are out of danger from spills.   

7. The child walks over to the newly marked zone {with dog if possible} and starts to step into the zone.  Parent gently but firmly indicates the child may not enter it.  Takes child over to the table {dog follows}.
V/O: It’s not easy raising children.  Having a kid-free zone gives parents one less thing to worry about.

8. C/U on kid at the table coloring or playing with a toy; Mom or Dad carries dish over to the table.  Places well away from seated child.  Other parent is seated at the table, supervising the child.
V/O: Of course, we still need to keep a close eye on them!

9. (Switch to fire station setting)

10. Narrator puts the photos back in his wallet just as the dispatcher announces a fire call. Jumps up and heads out of the kitchen.
O/C:  That’s my cue!  I Gotta run!
